Ice My Friday
We moved a little up-tempo yesterday.. let’s keep it that way.
Today we’ll hear some music by a class afro-funk group, Ice. They’re featured on several compilations, including Harmless’ Africafunk Volumes 1 and 2 and Comet Record’s aptly-titled, Racubah… but never played here on Benn loxo.
I don’t care if you’ve heard it already. It’s the end of the week, we’re all tired, and I need some bright brass and driving drums to get me moving.
Time Will Tell was original released by Epic in 1976.. the jacket, as you see to the left, is supah. Is that Geddy Lee in the middle or am I seeing things?
And does anyone have Ice’s 1970 release, Afro-Instrumental?

Salut Matt,
Il semblerait que le 1er morceau soit plutôt “Megaton” par Vecchio.
A bientôt
Aduna
tu as raison.. j’ai mis le bon compil, mauvais morceau par accident. cheers. ice’s time will tell stays, racubah we’ll hear another day..
dear Matt, I have a request.. Very often I’d like to link to your page and I’m to lazy or short of time to go in to my mail and write about for example today’s entry. could you add an Email a friend about this fantastic site-thing here?
Good idea, vajlet. You’ll now see a “Email this to a friend” link below every post.
Cheers
Matt
What’s up with the “wait 10 minutes before e-mailing” thing? I had several very important people to notify about the Bopol albums posted.
that 10 minute deal is to avoid spammers.. I’ll change the options a bit
oh great! i just used it for the first time!
thanks! and another question, do you prefer to write in english or french? my french is better than my english, so in case I have to write again – and there’s no reason why not – it’s good to know!
vajlet, you can write in either. je suis anglo-canadien à la base, mais je bosse en français à paris.
if you guys are going to start speaking french then i’m jumping on eurostar this minute to kick some ass!
karate chop!
I would also be interested in hearing their 1970 album. Wouldn’t that just be when they were recording as the Lafayette Afro Rock Band?
I love all the Original Sound stuff!!
